Insider Threat Prevention That Starts at the Data Layer
Stop malicious insiders, compromised accounts, and careless mistakes before your data walks out the door.
Insider threats bypass traditional defenses. Confidencial locks down sensitive data at the source, where it’s stored, shared, and used, no matter who tries to access it.
What Is Insider Threat Risk?
Even with Zero Trust and modern defenses, insider threats remain one of the most common (and costly) causes of data loss.
Insider threats include:
An employee emailing IP to their personal account
A contractor abusing privileged access
A compromised identity quietly leaking files
An employee pasting sensitive data into an unsecured AI tool

Real-World Breach: Tesla Insider Leak
In 2023, a Tesla employee leaked over 100GB of internal data including financials and manufacturing IP to the press. The insider had valid access, but there were no controls stopping them from misusing it.
Insiders don’t always look suspicious. That’s why we don’t chase behavior, we protect the data.
How Confidencial Stops Insider Data Leaks
We don’t wait for red flags. Confidencial proactively discovers, classifies, and protects your most valuable data before insiders can exploit it.
Our Approach
Automatic Sensitive Data Discovery
Continuously scan cloud and on-prem locations for PII, PHI, contracts, IP, and other high-value files.
Selective Encryption and Role-Based Access
Apply encryption at the section or field level, so users only see what they’re cleared to access.
Persistent Protection Across Ecosystems
Files stay encrypted, access-controlled, and auditable even when emailed, downloaded, or shared externally.
Instant Access Revocation
Pull back access in real time after a breach, during offboarding, or any time risk is detected.
Insider Threat Scenarios We Protect Against
Scenario
How we help
Even if client lists, designs, and R&D are emailed or copied to personal drives, access to sensitive data will be blocked.
Employee Exfiltrates IP Before Leaving
Restrict access to only the fields or pages they need, and track what they do.
Contractor Has Broad Access
Keep files encrypted and access-controlled, even if found or shared long after release.
Stolen File Resurfaces Months Later
Automatically detect and redact sensitive information before it enters AI knowledge bases, pipelines, and documents.
AI Prompting With Sensitive Data
How Confidencial Works
Connect File Storage Across Your Ecosystem
Securely connect cloud (OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, etc) and on-prem storage to uncover risk.
Automatically Discover Sensitive Data
Use AI-driven classifiers to find contracts, PII, PHI, financials, and more.
Apply Persistent Encryption and Access Control
Protect specific fields, sections, or entire files. Set role-based access to maintain control across teams and partners.
Send and Share With Full Control
Share securely (internally or externally) without losing control. No apps required for recipients.
Monitor Activity and Revoke in Real Time
See who’s accessing what, from where, and revoke access instantly when needed.
Business Impact
Cut insider threat risk—and breach costs
Support NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and CMMC insider risk requirements
Avoid binary encryption decisions—protect only what matters, and keep data usable
Audit sensitive data use and file movement
Protect IP, contracts, and PII across collaboration tools
